WaPo: "McCain got so close to the questioners that some appeared frightened."

:scared: Attaboy, John, scare 'em off.

"McCain was the more aggressive. He strode to center stage more quickly to meet Obama on his side. He got so close to the questioners that some appeared frightened. Rather than sit while Obama spoke, he stood upright or leaned against his stool. He was fidgety and unsmiling."

3. Yeah, a couple of times he looked pretty menacing as he

7. McCain did an SNL skit some years ago where he was essentially the same thing.

He played a stalkerish ex-boyfriend that always showed up right next to Amy Poehler (his 'girlfriend') and kept freaking her out.

8. McCain was on the verge of asking the audience members what they did with the strawberries

and twirling ball bears in both of his hands. It was a two-handed ball bearing night.
